Area transportation projects get OK

Transportation projects totaling more than $34 million in Bellevue will move forward following action Oct. 25 by the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Executive Board to approve the 2013-2016 Regional Transportation Improvement Program.

The Regional Transportation Improvement Program provides a list of current transportation projects in all four counties of the region – King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish. These projects are funded with federal, state and local funds, including recent federal grants awarded through PSRC.

The Transportation Improvement Program is required under federal and state laws, and helps to ensure that transportation projects are meeting regional policies and federal and state requirements such as those under the Clean Air Act.
